A survey organised by men’s grooming brand, The Bluebears Revenge, saw Scotland pick up 26 per cent of the public vote.

Scotland is famous for producing hardened warriors like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, as well as masculine actors such as Gerard Butler and Sean Connery.

Nick Gibbens, spokesperson for The Bluebeards Revenge, said it was no surprise to see Scotland take top spot because some of the toughest sports are played there.

He said: “When you look at the landscape, you know Scotland breeds a manly population. Geologically speaking, it is ancient, combining mountains, wilderness and Arctic landscape.

“Some of the toughest sports in the world are also played here. Who can overlook the Great Putt of the Inverness Stone at The Highland Games or the sport of Munro-Bagging that attracts only the brave and the hardy?

“Biking, hunting, sailing, and countless other manly sports are played here, often in adverse weather conditions that would deter the most avid sportsman.

“Scotland also produces around 90 per cent of all SAS members and is home to the deep fried mars bar, making it a very deserving winner of this coveted title.”
